Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of occupational therapists' burn-out, professional self-concept, and self-efficacy and also their socio-demographic characteristics and to verify the effects of professional self-concept and self-efficacy on their burn-out. The subjects of this survey were 138 occupational therapists who perform occupational therapy. From October 13th till November 2nd, 2011, a structuralized questionnaire was used to collect data. The results of this study were follows: First, the occupational therapists' mean score of burn-out was 2.12(range: 0-6), and the mean score of professional self-concept and self-efficacy were 2.64(range: 1-4) and 3.56(range: 1-5). Second, according to the general characteristics of the occupational therapists, burn-out showed significant difference by treatment hours per day, duty to work on Saturdays, aptitude and religion. Third, professional self-concept had positive correlation with self-efficacy. And professional self-concept and self-efficacy showed negative correlation with burn-out. Fourth, chief variables affecting occupational therapists' burn-out were professional self-concept and religion. Therefore it is necessary to reduce occupational therapists' burn-out and improve the services of their occupational therapy qualitatively by developing programs to enhance their professional self-concept.
